Trump panned over bizarre ‘Red Button’ and Kim Jong Un comments in response to DeSantis’ 2024 launch

By Victor Nava
May 24, 2023

Former President Donald Trump was ripped by some on social media and questioned by others after a bizarre Truth Social post in which he appeared to criticize Ron DeSantis shortly after the Republican Florida governor launched his bid for president.

“‘Rob,’ My Red Button is bigger, better, stronger, and is working (TRUTH!), yours does not! (per my conversation with Kim Jung Un, of North Korea, soon to become my friend!),” read Trump’s baffling post on Wednesday.

The post was later shared by the Trump campaign in an email to supporters.

The odd missive came after DeSantis formally announced his entry into the 2024 presidential race during a Twitter Spaces event with the platform’s owner, Elon Musk.

DeSantis’ announcement was delayed by roughly 30 minutes due to technical difficulties that Musk attributed to overwhelmed computer servers.

Good grief. What is that old man talking about?
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands.
I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hands.
Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway.
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I wonder if any of the Trump supporters could interpret this post.  I usually can guess what he meant to say, but this one is a true mystery.  The timestamp says 6:54pm.  Should we chalk it up to sundowning?

That's an interesting thought.

I think we need to start questioning Trump's mental competence like right now.

It's getting to that point.

He is very competent at being mental. I see no need to question it.

Well, I don’t speak Trumpian, so be a dear and ‘splain it to the rest of us.  :shrug:

I'm no expert, but he appears to be bragging to someone named "Rob" about the size and functionality of his "button" and apropos of nothing, noting his kinship with a nuclear-armed tyrant of some repute.

How could anyone be "friends" with a tyrant mass murdering dictator?

Who knows?  I think the stress of his presidency, the lawsuits and now DeSantis challenging him, has affected his mental and emotional well being.

And there's your answer.  Not even a Trump zealot can explain it.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
